TRENTON -- Former "Saturday Night Live" star Joe Piscopo will not run for governor of New Jersey, and will instead endorse the Republican front-runner, Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno.

"We are going to support Kim," Piscopo told NJ Advance Media on Wednesday shortly before going on his morning radio show on 970-AM to make the announcement.

Guadagno had made a pilgrimage to Piscopo's home on Saturday and asked for a sit-down, promising to address his concerns in her campaign if he would agree not to divide the party, Piscopo said.

WE ARE HATING EACH OTHER? People who blame both sides are trying to have it both ways.

I enjoy collecting protection money, putting whores to work, loan-sharking. I enjoy planting bombs in people's cars. These are a few of my favorite things.

I didn’t realize he was on the radio. What is Piscopo’s political persuasion?

It's an .88 Magnum. It shoots through schools.

The funniest movie ever made, IMO. I usually laugh until I can’t breathe. :) :) :)

Regrets, he’s had a few, but then again, too few to mention.

He is a conservative-leaning Independent. He would have taken votes away from the NJ GOP.

Written by a couple of Hollywood writers from the 1970’s onward. Interesting stories. Here is one of them.

Joe really wanted to run. I guess there just wasn’t enough interest from big donor groups.

Wasn’t this the movie where Joe Piscipo kept getting hung up on a hook behind the door? What was the title?

Yessss! That’s it! Thanks so much - since he’s been back in the news, that’s how I remember him. I always thought those scenes were so funny - they still crack me up. Thanks again.

She is a moderate to conservative Northeasterner. She is seen as more conservative than Christie in some issues but she is pro-choice.
